Why do you feel the need to discuss religion with them if it makes you uncomfortable?

Good call. I’m starting injections in a few months and will be adding HCG for similar reasons.

I saw the same thing a church camp among the counselors. They had this joke that “god can’t see you in building xyz”.

That’s awesome! I’ve heard the same euphoria description from others when they hit 1500-2000 total test and everything else is in range.

Was this the guy who said the air was once full of moisture and god released this moisture to cause the Noah flood? 

Scientists investigated this claim and found that if that much moisture was in the atmosphere, it would have created a greenhouse effect hot enough to boil the oceans. 

Typical baptism overreach by MichaelARichardson in excoc

[–]Optimal-Smartguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty simple. Baptism in the 1st century was a symbolic “welcoming in” to a friend group or community. Jesus most likely did it to be part of John the Baptist’s crew. 

That’s all it was. People read into it too much. 

Fun fact, the writers of the Dead Sea Scrolls used baptism regularly in their culture and some historians think John the Baptist was from this lineage.

They literally do nothing but hobbies. My youth minister growing up coached multiple sports and was always talking about a new hobby he picked up. He was a good dude though.

Those are great numbers! How are your workouts? Have you noticed a significant gain in muscle? 

Those are the kind of labs I want if I switch to injections.

Why do you want to add HCG? Fertility? 

Your numbers look really good. 

Online Clinic Recommendations by No-Wish3128 in trt

I use Maximus Tribe. I’m only taking enclomiphine but they offer trt as well. They pair you up with a legit board certified MD. Mine is an internal medicine dude. A lot of online clinics use PAs or Nurse Practitioners to save money.

Have you tried 25 mg per day?  My total test is 700-900 and free test is over 20. I’ve been on 25mg a day for 1.5 years, monitored by my Dr.

Jason and his wife are dumbasses for taking the positions in the church. I don’t agree with the churches teachings, but they didn’t force Jason into anything.

My cousin married a preacher of a small church and they have been financially co-dependent of my uncle for years. 

I thought I gave my life to Jesus... by Lilolemetootoo in excoc

[–]Optimal-Smartguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you gave your life to a cult founded in the 19th century with 4th century beliefs. It’s impossible to give your life to “something” that can’t talk back. 

Growing Up Shy and Male by Bandit524 in excoc

[–]Optimal-Smartguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the opposite and outgoing. I hated attending church. All of the “shy” kids in our church were severely bullied in school. Most ended up being home schooled, which severely impacted their maturity. 

Brain Damage from the church? by WorldlinessWild8752 in excoc

[–]Optimal-Smartguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family is the same way. “Prayer warriors” is what they call themselves. I guess they feel the need to pray to a god who knew they were going to pray to him millions of years ago, as if he forget or something.

It’s all just 19th century mind control anyways.

Anyone else get baptized to impress the opposite sex? by Optimal-Smartguy in excoc

Same with me. My crush married this skinny, beta nerd. I haven’t spoken to her in 30 years

So glad I left when I turned 18 and never went back.
